Use case · Internal ops

Self-serve answers and actions for employees — privileged actions still gated.

An assistant inside your internal portal that answers policy and account questions from the employee’s own scope, and routes privileged actions like an access reset through approval — opening a ticket only when needed.

Persona

Employee in an internal IT or HR self-service portal (e.g. a Zendesk-style out-of-process adapter).

The trigger

In the portal, the employee asks: “Reset my VPN access and open a ticket if it fails,” or “how much PTO do I have and what’s the carry-over rule?”

The workflow

Plan → governed tools → cards.

Illustrative tool ids and risk levels — a host defines its own. The primitives underneath (the governance gate that runs permission, policy and audit, context minimization, the 12 card types) are built and tested, and the data-handling and security controls around them are documented.

01

A plan card sets the steps; read-only lookups (account status, this employee’s leave balance, policy references) run automatically — boundary enforcement blocks seeing anyone else’s data.

02

Privileged actions — reset access, request leave — are controlled writes that pause at an approval card.

03

A fallback ticket is a low-risk create, opened only on failure and returned as a save-output card with the ticket reference.

04

Every action is scoped to the employee and written to the audit trail.

Why it matters

Customer value.

Instant self-serve answers that deflect HR and IT tickets, strictly self-scoped.

Privileged actions stay approval-gated and audited; nothing runs silently.

Boundary enforcement means an employee can never read a colleague’s balance or account.

Target: [CUSTOMER RESULT REQUIRES VALIDATION].

Demo hook

Ask for a colleague’s PTO balance — refused at the boundary; then the access reset stops at an approval, and a ticket is auto-created only if the reset fails.
